Wilderness Trips

6 Day Wilderness Trips
The original and core program of Meet the Wilderness, our six day trips introduce youth groups and individuals to the Colorado backcountry. These trips include two days of teambuilding and preparing at our Minturn base camp and Teams Course. We all pack gear and food and depart for 4 more days of backcountry adventure. Hiking and camping in remote wilderness areas, carrying all of the gear and working as a group all serve our mission to teach life skills, teamwork and leadership. We succeed seeing participants return home with broadened horizons and a greater sense of self.

"You know it's hard describing in words the feeling you get when you think about some of the accomplishments we've made from the trips to Colorado. It's truly unbelievable. There is such a sense of inner peace with ones self when you're all alone with the elements, an apportunity that I feel most inner city youths don't get. My mother was and still is so happy that people cared enough to make a difference in my life. Many values that have been instilled in me have come from the challenges of Meet The Wilderness retreats in Colorado."
